Yet again #ICE misses an opportunity to make us more safe. They arrest the person reporting a possible crime rather than actually helping local police investigate where the shooting was taking place. 🤦🏻‍♂️ houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

NEW: The Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander suggested “shoot, shovel and shut up” as a way to deal with immigrants — a comment that could boost legal efforts to block the state’s map. hubs.ly/Q03Gg4HL0

Last week while at a NACO conference we happened to walk by @Marriott Westin in #SanFrancisco with a couple elected officials. We had a little time so @CommStout and I picked up a sign and joined the @UniteHereL2 picket line. Being raised in a strong union household, I was proud to stand ✊🏽 in the fight for better wages! From: #KansasCityMissouri @JacksonCountyMO In Solidarity!!
Marriott Marquis workers are feeling the holiday spirit and the union spirit! Thank you to Glenn from the Marquis for these photos!

Failed Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw is on video calling Mexicans cockroaches. This is the same man that had his troopers stand down for over an hour as Latino students and teachers were massacred at an elementary school in Uvalde. Disgusting.

Recent studies reveal that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born citizens, challenging long-held misconceptions. As NPR highlights, it’s time to ground our policies in facts rather than fear. Read more: immcouncil.co/3Wjs44V

New: Annunciation House, the Catholic migrant shelter in El Paso, wins in district court against @KenPaxtonTX’s efforts to shut it down. Judge calls the Attorney General’s subpoenas and accusations of wrongdoing “harassment and overreaching.”

This is part of why it's important for the broader American public to understand - and the media, whose job it is to inform that public, to include the central fact -that seeking asylum is a right under U.S. law. Asylum is *legal* immigration.

The recent Axios poll that restrictionists loved so much did find rising support for deportations. But it *also* found that large majorities support expanding legal pathways for orderly immigration and making it easy to enter legally so people don't need to enter illegally. Read:
